CANCER SOCIETY SEEKS VOLUNTEER DRIVERS: The American Cancer Society is seeking volunteer “Road to Recovery” drivers to assist patients receiving treatment for cancer. Patients are from Luzerne, Lackawanna, Wyoming, Susquehanna, Wayne, Pike, Carbon, Schuylkill, Bradford and Monroe counties. The Road to Recovery program provides free transportation to and from medical treatment appointments for people who are in active treatment for a cancer diagnosis (currently receiving chemotherapy or radiation) who do not have a ride or are unable to drive themselves. Volunteer drivers need to be 18 to 85, have a valid PA driver’s license, a good driving record, a reliable vehicle, proof of insurance, complete a background check and driver check and attend a brief orientation program. Hours of driving are flexible and rides are typically provided from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Volunteers can drive their own vehicle or an ACS vehicle, where available. Call Jennifer Washney at 570-562-9749.
